My Flowerhorn hatched.

[Tommyboy]

Hi All,

Three days before my FH layed eggs and yesterday the fries have came out, please help me for the following doubts.

When should i start feeding the fries?
I have already moved the parents to other tank, is this right?
I am not able to get brine shrimp, so, what food should i feed for the fries.
should i do a water change, if yes, by when?

You can start feeding the fry after a few days I believe.
Thats fine, but flowerhorns are still cichlids and for the most part would not harm the fry.
Crushed cichlid flakes.
I wouldnt worry about the water change until after feeding begins as long as the tank is properly filtered.

You heard right... Only problem with this is that your water will turn to poop brown if you don't keep up with w/c on a bi-daily basis...
